This home is perched on a steep slope of South Table Mountain overlooking Golden. The house was designed around the sweeping south views of the valley below, with a focused north view of the mesa above. All main living spaces, including the master suite, are on the upper floor, with an open staircase and an elevator providing full access to the lower level. At less than 3,000 square feet, this house has all the amenities anyone could desire.
